WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers All Collectibles Guide — Locations and Rewards
Find every collectible in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers including Jade Pendants, Stone Needles, Lost Remains, spells, and Mystery Gate rewards.
Collectible Types Overview
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers tracks several categories of collectibles. Some are required for trophies and achievements, others are purely for combat power. Nearly all of them can be missed permanently if you don’t grab them before certain story triggers. Here’s every type and where to find them.
Jade Pendants (31 Total)
Jade Pendants are equippable talismans that provide passive combat buffs—things like increased physical damage, spell potency, lifesteal, and elemental resistance. There are 31 in the game.
How to Find Them
- Yellow glowing pickups on the ground or on surfaces (shelves, tables, altars)
- Small glowing chests tucked into side paths and hidden corners
- NPC questline rewards for completing specific quest steps
- Enemy drops from elite (purple-glow) enemies and mini-bosses
- Merchant purchases from Wu Gang and Tao Qing after expanding their shops
Best Jade Pendants Worth Prioritizing
Lifesteal Pendant — Heals you on every hit. Pairs with the Axe Rampage build for near-invincibility. Found in Cloudspire.
Crimson Pendant — Flat attack power increase. Good on every build. Located in a golden chest in the Reverent Temple side area.
Coiled Dragon Pendant — Boosts weapon skill damage. Strong for builds that rely on Skyborn Might-spending weapon skills. Found in Mt. Zhenwu.
Sun Pendant — Increases spell potency by roughly 10%. Must-have for the One-Handed Sword Magic build. Rewarded from an NPC questline.
Tiger Pendant — Boosts physical damage. Best general-purpose pendant for melee builds. Located in Cloudspire.
Pixiu Pendant — Found in a chest in the Annalum, past the Shrine and down a hill in a walled area. Utility pendant with defensive stats.
Chapter-by-Chapter Pendant Locations
Chapter 1 — Worship’s Rise: 8-10 pendants, mostly in Reverent Temple and Lightzen Temple side paths. Check behind every building and inside every optional structure.
Chapter 2 — Cloudspire: 7-8 pendants spread across the snowy areas. The Snowfall Palace underground has two that are easily missed (drop through the cracked floor section).
Chapter 3 — Mt. Zhenwu: 6-7 pendants, including some in the Avian Marsh secret area and the Pavilion of Knowledge.
Chapter 4 — Ruins of Worship’s Rise: 3-4 pendants in the altered version of areas you visited in Chapter 1.
Chapter 5 — Bo Capital: 4-5 pendants, including endgame options in the Depths of the Capital.
Stone Needles
Stone Needles are equippable items that grant unique passive effects. They’re rarer than Jade Pendants and often hidden behind optional bosses or in secret areas.
Key Stone Needles
Shadow Stone Needle — Reward for the rooftop gazebo Inner Demon fight in Worship’s Rise. Easy to miss. Enhances dodge-related abilities.
Plumed Stone Needle — Found in the Avian Marsh secret area after clearing the elite enemies. Boosts Skyborn Might generation.
Lifeleech Stone Needle — One of the best Stone Needles in the game. Enables lifesteal that stacks with the Axe Rampage discipline. Found in a Chapter 2 side area.
NG+ Stone Needle Behavior
This is a quirk that’s worth knowing. In New Game Plus, Stone Needles appear as upgraded versions of the ones you collected in your first playthrough. But if you missed a Stone Needle on your first run, NG+ gives you the base version instead of the upgrade. This means collecting every Stone Needle on your first playthrough is the only way to get the upgraded versions in NG+.
Lost Remains (10 Total)
Lost Remains are the Manna Vase upgrade items that increase how much health each sip restores. There are exactly 10 in the game, and they’re always found in large golden treasure chests.
Locations by Area
Reverent Temple (Chapter 1): 2 Lost Remains. One in the main path after the first mini-boss area, one in the hidden cave behind the waterfall near Buddha Cliffs.
Lightzen Temple (Chapter 1): 1 Lost Remains. In a golden chest off the main path, behind a locked gate that opens from the other side (loop around).
Cloudspire (Chapter 2): 2 Lost Remains. One at the Snowy Passage Shrine area, one in the Snowfall Palace underground section.
Mt. Zhenwu (Chapter 3): 2 Lost Remains. One near the Zhenwu Antechamber, one in the Battlefield Pass area on a raised platform.
Annalum (Chapter 4): 1 Lost Remains. Near the main Shrine, in a walled courtyard.
Bo Capital (Chapter 5): 2 Lost Remains. One in the Depths of the Capital, one in the area leading to the final boss.
Priority note: Each Lost Remains makes a noticeable difference. A fully upgraded Manna Vase heals roughly three times more per charge than the base version. Find these before pushing through bosses.
Forgotten Remembrances
These add extra charges to your Manna Vase. They’re also found in golden chests but there are fewer of them than Lost Remains. The exact count varies by source, but expect to find 4-5 across the full game. They appear in the same types of locations—side paths, hidden areas, and golden chests behind optional challenges.
Spells (40 Total)
There are 40 spells in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. They come in three types: Magic, Feathering, and Other.
How Spells Are Obtained
- Echo spells drop from defeating bosses. Each boss has a unique Echo tied to their abilities. Killing optional bosses like Lu Bingzhang and Lu Hongliu grants Echoes you’ll miss if you skip them.
- World drops are scattered in chests and on pickup points throughout every area.
- NPC rewards for completing specific questlines.
- Merchant purchases from expanded NPC shops.
Best Spells to Prioritize
Ethereal Form — Gives temporary invincibility. The single best defensive spell in the game. Found early in Chapter 1.
Echo of the Bo Magus — Creates a shield absorbing three hits regardless of damage. Dropped by the Bo Magus boss in Chapter 4. Top-tier defensive option.
Offensive spells for Magic builds: Prioritize whatever deals the most damage per Skyborn Might spent. The One-Handed Sword Magic build scales off Spell Potency, so any spell with high base damage benefits.
Benedictions
Benedictions are passive abilities slotted into your character screen. They modify how your combat mechanics work.
Key Benedictions
Bu — Skyborn Ward — Reduces incoming damage when you gain Skyborn Might. Strong for builds that generate Skyborn Might frequently (Longsword, Axe).
Wei — Skyborn Magic — Buffs spell damage when gaining Skyborn Might. Core for the Magic build.
Sheng — Lasting Alacrity — Extends the damage avoidance period when triggering Alacrity. Good for dodge-heavy playstyles.
Benedictions are found in chests, from NPC quests, and behind Mystery Gates. The Mystery Gate Benedictions are among the strongest and are permanently missable if you answer the riddle wrong.
Mystery Gate Rewards
Three Mystery Gates, three unique reward sets. All permanently missable. Here’s what’s behind each one:
| Gate Location | Reward |
|---|---|
| Tang Palace | Unique armor piece + Benediction |
| Hillswatch (Cloudspire) | Jade Pendant + upgrade materials |
| Bo Capital | One of the best Benedictions in the game |
Answer all three correctly for the “Sage” trophy/achievement.
Armor Sets
Armor sets are scattered throughout the game and offer different defensive stat profiles. Notable sets include:
- Bronze Armor — Found in the Avian Marsh secret area. Solid mid-game defensive option.
- Butler Shen’s Armor — Only obtainable if you choose to reveal the butler’s betrayal to Huang Yan during the Great Yonder Gang questline.
- Late-game sets in Bo Capital — The strongest defensive options, found in the Depths of the Capital.
Collectible Checklist Tips
- Explore every area thoroughly before fighting the boss. Boss kills often trigger area transitions or points of no return.
- Use the Shrine teleport indicator to check for NPC interactions you might have missed.
- Before the Zhang Xianzhong fight, sweep Worship’s Rise, Ferry Overlook, and Bai Mansion for anything you missed. These areas lock permanently after.
- Mystery Gates are one-shot. If you’re unsure of the answer, look it up. There’s no penalty for checking a guide, but there is a penalty for guessing wrong.
- In NG+, upgraded Stone Needles only appear if you collected the base versions. Don’t plan to “catch up” on missed needles in NG+—it doesn’t work the way you’d expect.
